The mole ratio calculator calculates the ratio of moles between reactants and products based on the balanced chemical equation of the reaction.

What Is Mole To Mole Ratio?

“Mole ratio is a conversion factor that proportionally relates the amounts of chemical substances involved in a reaction SI Unit: Mole

Mole Ratio Formula:

Mole Ratio = Moles of Reactants/Moles of Products

The values here come from the coefficient of the chemical reaction.

Example:

Consider the following balanced chemical equation:

\({N_2} \left( g \right) + 3{H_2} \left( g \right) \rightarrow 2{NH_3} \left( g \right)\nonumber\)

The reaction has 6 mole ratios, elaborated as:

\(\begin{array}{ccc}\dfrac{3 \: \text{mol} \: {H_2}}{1 \: \text{mol} \: {N_2}} & or & \dfrac{1 \: \text{mol} \: {N_2}}{3 \: \text{mol} \: {H_2}} \\ \dfrac{1 \: \text{mol} \: {N_2}}{2 \: \text{mol} \: {NH_3}} & or & \dfrac{2 \: \text{mol} \: {NH_3}}{1 \: \text{mol} \: {N_2}} \\ \dfrac{3 \: \text{mol} \: {H_2}}{2 \: \text{mol} \: {NH_3}} & or & \dfrac{2 \: \text{mol} \: {NH_3}}{3 \: \text{mol} \: {H_2}} \end{array}\nonumber\)

How To Find Mole Ratio?

Calculating mole ratios helps to estimate the theoretical yield of a chemical reaction. To calculate it, follow the steps below:

  • Balance the chemical equation
  • Separate the coefficients of reactants and products
  • Determine their ratios to get the answer

Solved Example (Mole Ratio):

Consider you have the following reaction:

\({N_2} \left( g \right) + 3{H_2} \left( g \right) \rightarrow 2{NH_3} \left( g \right)\nonumber\)

If 5.83 moles of hydrogen reacts with the excess amount of nitrogen, how many moles of ammonia will be produced after the reaction completes?

Solution:

Step # 01: Write the Given Values

Moles of \(H_2\) = 5.83

Step # 02: Now Write Down the Unknown Quantity

Moles of \(NH_3\) = ?

Step # 03: Identify the Nature of the Problem

The given reaction is converting \(H_2\) into \(NH_3\) moles. So we will ignore the \(N_2\) completely. Our main concern is to find a conversion factor that allows us to write \(NH_3\) in the numerator and \(H_2\)

in the denominator.

Step # 04: Solve

\(5.83 \: \text{mol} \:{H_2} \times \dfrac{2 \: \text{mol} \:{NH_3}}{3 \: \text{mol} \:{H_2}} = 3.88 \: \text{mol} \:{NH_3}\nonumber\)
